    10min: Local announcements. Remind publishers to turn in field service reports for June. Read accounts report and donation acknowledgments. Using the suggested presentations on page 4 (if appropriate for your territory), demonstrate how to present either the July 1 Watchtower or the July 8 Awake! Another realistic presentation may be used. After the demonstration, restate the opening comments that were used to arouse the householder's interest.

    15 min: Local needs.

    20 min: Offering the Worship God book in July and August. Talk and audience discussion. Review the following points from "How to Use Sample Presentations," found on page 8 of the January 2005 Our Kingdom Ministry: (1) We will usually be more effective if we put presentations in our own words. (2) We must use good judgment and adapt our presentations according to what is acceptable locally. (3) We need to take into account the background and thinking of the people in our territory. (4) We should carefully read the chapter that we plan to feature and look for points that may stir interest. (5) We are not limited to using only the approaches outlined in the sample presentations. Discuss presentations that can be used to offer the Worship God book. You may use the sample presentations that appear on page 5 of the January 2005 Our Kingdom Ministry insert, adapt those presentations according to the customs and thinking of people in the territory, or use other presentations that are effective. Demonstrate two or three presentations.

    Song 196 and concluding prayer.

    Listener, thanks for posting this every week. I do have to say, it is the most boring thread but it isn't your fault.

    dumber and dumber... so they are having not one, but two parts on "how to use the sample presentations printed in this literature." I remember when we used to make up our own demonstrations, and they would be LONG! Now they just get up and demo the 30 second ones verbatim. ugh. so glad I'm not there...

    As I was reading through that I got an almost nostalgic feeling. It was all so predictably the same week after week, and once you knew the rules (or how to fudge the rules), you could walk through your JW life on auto-pilot. It is boring, but also oddly comfortable in a mind-numbing sort of way. LOL
